My lg has 9oz in day and we wake her for a 5oz dream feed or she would barely be having any milk!

Mind if I ask what your routine is? Ours has about four feeds or five of only a few ounces each. If I drop bottles it doesn’t increase any other feeds so have to feed little and often including in the night just to get 15/16 ounces in! X

My lo has 14oz a day.

Just 7oz first thing and then 7oz just before bed.

She dropped her other 2 daytime bottles herself

How do you get ur lo to drink 7 ounces in one feed? That’s incredible. The most I’ve ever got mine to drink is 5 in one feed and even then he was gagging and I had to stop. Now he won’t drink more than four ounces at tops and even then only whilst asleep -totally refuses bottle awake

She has 5oz when she wakes then 2oz mid morning, 2oz mid afternoon. She just goes to bed at 6.30 without more milk so we do dream feed at 10pm of 5oz. She then sleeps through.

She can't physically take more than 2oz in the day...She even throws up some of the 2 but cries till we give it to her. I have tried just doing water and snacks but she definitely wants some milk. Her tummy has never been able to manage large quantities.

Mine is the same, will have 5oz in the morning 5/6am but then has three other bottles where she will only have 2oz (offer 5 each time). Stopped giving her the 10.30pm feed as she was sick. She’s never been able to drink a lot in one go. She still sleeps through, but still not sure she is getting enough as I can only get her to have porridge in the morning and a small lunch. She won’t have three meals a day and won’t eat finger food. She will be 8months in a few days. I thought she would need to be eating a lot more food before dropping so many oz. She’s only been like this since Tuesday. Reassuring to know she’s not the only one doing this. Think I will be getting her some yogurt to add to her calcium intake.

We’re exactly the same but these days hardly ever get more than a few ounces at a time. Thank you so much for sharing. Don’t feel so alone anymore. Never met a baby who doesn’t want milk! I literally have to dream feed every nap time to get a few ounces in as he won’t let the bottle anywhere near him otherwise x

We’re basically in the same boat as not managing large meals or three at that and still dropping ounces. It’s been months for us though but he’s putting on weight luckily so all okay, think I need to chill out about it a bit 🙂. Thank you so much for sharing x

Your growing child

9 month old, fourth week

Your baby's personality is really emerging now. She may be very social, granting broad smiles to everyone she meets, or a little more shy, hiding her face when well-meaning strangers try to engage her. Read More

10 month old, first week

Your baby now understands many simple words and phrases, so it's more important than ever to keep talking to him. Give your chatterbox a head start on good speech patterns by repeating his words back to him using adult language. Read More

10 month old, third week

Your baby may walk while gripping your hand, and he'll hold out his arm or leg to help you dress him. At mealtimes, he may be able to grip a cup and drink from it and independently hand-feed himself an entire meal. Read More
